Nearly cut my thumb off when a mirror at the local Waffle House Fell off the wall in the bathroom. It's been very painful and Doc. says it will take 8-10 months to heal, and may never be the way it was again.

Heres the problem:
1. I wasn't sober but I wasn't trashed

2. I was in the womens restroom (which locks) and I'm not a woman

3. I hit the wall next to the mirror, messing with my friend in the adjoining mens bathroom

My argument: What if a woman with a small child used the bathroom and the child hit the wall and the mirror fell on them killing them???

Any advice/input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Erc

I would love to see the judges reaction to your story. If you could possibly convince an attorney to accept your case you would be eaten alive in court. You do not have a case.

**A: college student under the influence.

2. I was in the womens restroom (which locks) and I'm not a woman

**A: see above. But despite being under the influence your action to enter and occupy a womens rest room was deliberate.

3. I hit the wall next to the mirror, messing with my friend in the adjoining mens bathroom

**A: your actions of hitting the wall caused the mirror to fall off the wall and cause the injury. You caused the injury to yourself.

**A: this argument is not pertinent to your case.

**A: I suggest you grow up and take responsibility for your own childish and stupid actions.
